211 Rex Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19118

Situated on a quiet block steps away from the Shops of Chestnut Hill, two SEPTA rail and bus lines, and the amazing Wissahickon Gorge, stands this charming and proud Victorian twin from 1895. Over time its loving owner of 40 years has updated the windows, replaced the roof, added high-velocity central air conditioning and recently walls have been painted and the beautiful pine floors finished. The exterior front, side and rear yards have been well-tended and infilled with perennials, bulbs and native shrubs. The rear property features a stone patio near the house, and a deep well-landscaped yard that's home to flowering shrubs and trees, and often a cacophony of birds in song. The morning sunlight floods the interior front rooms. The living room and dining rooms are combined into one large space; the kitchen has wood flooring and a section of original cabinetry; the windows above the sink overlook the rear yard and captures the afternoon light. On the 2nd floor is one small bedroom or study and two medium sized bedrooms and a tiled hall bathroom with a shower over the tub. The basement has a utility room with storage shelving, an entertainment space, a powder room, a laundry room and French doors to the outside. This historic, well-maintained and perfectly located home is ready to charm its next owner.
